Building the Canadian Tariff Defence Hub in Under 7 Days: Claude MCP & Gemini Workflow
Overview
When Canada’s new counter-tariff schedules landed, Canadian business owners needed immediate clarity on line-item exposure and relief options. To respond at speed, our team built and launched the Canadian Enterprise Tariff Defence Hub end-to-end in less than a week.
The Challenge
We needed to translate complex trade policy, tariff schedules, and government relief programs into custom, plain-English business audits. The objective was to build a full web platform and an automated backend artifact generator without spending weeks on manual CMS administration or document formatting.
How We Built It
Claude MCP to WordPress Integration: We used Claude connected via Model Context Protocol (MCP) directly to our WordPress environment. This allowed us to generate, format, structure, and deploy complex pages, custom intake funnel steps, and technical copy without touching the native UI or performing manual page layout work.
Gemini & NotebookLM Package Pipeline: To power the audit deliverables, we engineered a pipeline using Gemini models to process business inputs, invoices, and supplier catalogues. This architecture automatically generates full multi-format client packages—including impact reports, slide decks, one-page visual infographics, and synthesized audio overviews for business owners on the go.
Rapid Intake Architecture: Integrated automated payment tiers (including local Nanaimo discounts and flexible options) tied directly into our 48-hour delivery workflow.
The Result
A fully operational, production-grade service platform built from concept to live deployment in under 7 days, capable of ingesting raw client trade data and outputting comprehensive, multi-media analysis packages instantly.
The rapid intake architecture is a smart touch—turning complex tariff inputs into a clear, usable workflow in under a week is impressive. The multi-format audit outputs sound especially practical.
A website should make the product easy to understand.
My latest redesign concept explores a new direction for HF Memo—an Android app and Bluetooth controller for recording voice notes and hearing messages aloud.
I focused on showing the experience: capture a thought, replay a recording, and understand what each controller button does.
Clean typography, light backgrounds, and lime accents give the product room to tell its story.

Glosspak — Building a Scalable B2B Product Experience
Recently wrapped up the website design for Glosspak, a packaging company working across industrial equipment, stretch film, home products, and distribution.
The main challenge was scale. Glosspak has several very different product directions and a catalog that will continue growing, so the website needed to feel simple for customers without limiting the business behind it.
I restructured the experience around three main product directions: Robopac Equipment, Industrial Stretch Film, and Glosspak Home. Each has its own catalog flow, while detailed product pages make specifications, technical information, downloads, related products, and inquiry actions easy to access.
Beyond the catalog, I designed dedicated experiences for industries, distributor partnerships, company information, locations, and News & Insights. Since pricing is handled through direct inquiries, the conversion flow was built around Request Price List and consultation actions rather than a traditional e-commerce checkout.
The result is a more structured B2B platform where customers can understand the product ecosystem, find the right solution, explore the details, and contact the Glosspak team without getting lost in a large catalog.
